He seems to do the opposite of all that in his Podkozin report.
- boonerbuck

That's the problem is he doesn't see the players others than the dominate ones against his own competition.

Generally it seems to be in random internet guys who compare player vs player and not how players will be in the NHL in the future.

Those players like Zegras, Boldy sure did shine playing against teenagers on a dominant team. Though something missing for the big spotlight games.

Hogz and Podz were not hyped about because they were adjusting their games playing against men. Plus less exposure in NA. If projecting NHL impact Canucks should be better off with the two they picked.

All you have to do is look like Kole Lind, slaughtering WHL competition and gets to the AHL at doesn't have a very good season. Men's league's are that much better that junior lesgues.

Big jump from Jr to the pros that most players cannot handle. Other side of the coin is unheralded picks coming out of nowhere to become stars. Fighting for a contract & job are totally new & a wake up call to more players than not. JV you listening? Lind is going through an adjustment period & remains to be seen how he responds this season. I think he’s motivated to prove himself.

JV never had a rounded out NHL game. Having to learn that now. Big and skates faster only gets you so far.

That would be the problem with Scouch. As he said he can't do rankings because he is unable to place current junior players into NHL quality. Only compares Jr. Players to other Jr.

Thanks Carol,

Excellent interview from an excellent coach.

I liked his comments about tapering expectations about Hughes, the need for the team to develop internally, and calling out Virtanen.

Also liked his comments on Eriksson.

Not at all, listening to his analysis seemed to align with some of your posts.

The Nicola Tesla avatar might of had an influence also,
